Using interactive measuring techniques, computer design, 3D printing, and hand and machine tooling, we work with you to make your custom chin rest and collarbone rest set, while progressively coaching you in re-training cramped playing habits. New technology allows us to create a series of test rests at a reasonable price, allowing the client to be involved at every stage in perfecting the design of the rests. At each stage, we provide you with the skills you need to accustom you to your new playing options, and to make informed equipment and playing decisions.

This process can be tailored to your needs, but generally follows these stages:

With the custom equipment begins a process of unlearning playing habits and exploring your playing skills in new ways. Sometimes this involves making changes to the equipment, sometimes our expertise on playing habits helps you to develop further. Pricing of equipment check-ups and playing consultations are below.

Stage three: You complete the design of your final equipment set.

Although the testing equipment is very solid and can be used for years without any issues there are several options to change your testing equipment to an even more polished version once you are completely satisfied with the fit. Pricing see below.
